A Piece Of What You Need Lyrics - A Piece Of What You Need - Teddy Thompson

Is this what we really want 

Background music from a restaurant 

Spare me, it's doing in my head 

Drop dead gorgeous teen 

Singing pages from her diary 

So bad, you'd kick her out of bed 

Break down the stupid wall 

Stop doing what you're told 

And don't believe a thing you see 

Red light, drop that ball 

Stop getting everything you want 

And get a piece of what you need 

Life on the happy pills 

Counts on Pfizer to erase our ills 

It's working, I'm feeling pretty blank 

So sing, sing soulless boy 

Give us more of your simple joy 

It's soothing, money in the bank 

Break down the stupid wall 

Stop doing what you're told 

And don't believe a thing you see 

Red light, drop that ball 

Stop getting everything you want 

And get a piece of what you need 

Oh, say can't you see 

We're kinda, sorta living free 

Staring into space 

Bye, bye human race 

Break down the stupid wall 

Let's stop doing what we're told 

And don't believe a thing you see 

Oh, red light, drop that ball 

Stop getting everything we want 

And get a piece of what we need
